Barcelona reportedly have a private agreement with another club in a potential solution to the messy Dani Olmo situation.
The Spain international returned to his boyhood club in the summer in a £51 million deal after Barcelona paid his release clause to RB Leipzig.
He penned a six-year contract and took the No.20 shirt but was initially unable to play for the club due as they did not have sufficient funds to register his salary.

In the end, Olmo was registered provisionally until December 31 due to a La Liga loophole the Blaugrana exploited and has scored five goals in 11 appearances.
But the 26-year-old now finds himself left in limbo, with La Liga and the Spanish Federation rejecting recent attempts by Barca to register Olmo for Barca after a string of meetings.
Barca are looking to go to court over the matter for a second time and hope for a successful appeal that will see Olmo become available to play.

Olmo has been heavily linked with a number of Premier League sides, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal - though Fabrizio Romano claims he will not be joining an English club in January.
But according to Corriere Dello Sport, as per Sport, AC Milan have been offered the option to take Olmo on a six-month loan. It's said there is a private agreement for Olmo to head back to Barca after the short-term deal.
The Rossoneri can offer him a spot in the starting XI and the opportunity to play Champions League football.

Despite the speculation about Olmo's future and the registration problems, the player's agent, Andy Bara, says his client does not want to leave.
"To be honest, I feel calm," he said.
"It could feel strange but I believe in [Barcelona] president Laporta, Deco and I feel they will find a solution for Dani. It’s a massive club.
"We are not negotiating with any club. Dani is Barcelona player and he wants to be a Barcelona player. He has made a big effort in his life to be at Barcelona. It was his desire for a long time.

"Barcelona is the first and last option! Dani, his father, family, me, we’re not thinking about other options."
